How to convert DateTime in UTC format?

I have time in this format and I want to convert this into UTC timezone.

 : "2015-03-17T07:46:52+0100"
 : "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"

I am using Codeigniter framework.

Try the getTimezone and setTimezone, see the example

(But this does use a Class)

UPDATE:

Without any classes you could try something like this:

$the_date = strtotime("2015-03-17T07:46:52+0100");
echo(date_default_timezone_get() . "<br />");
echo(date("Y-d-mTG:i:sz",$the_date) . "<br />");
echo(date_default_timezone_set("UTC") . "<br />");
echo(date("Y-d-mTG:i:sz", $the_date) . "<br />");

Pretty straightforward using DateTime objects

$string = "2015-03-17T07:46:52+0100";
$dt = new DateTime($string);
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
